"Since (the moon orbiting mission) I have not complained about the weather one time ... I'm glad there is weather.... or the traffic... I'm glad there are people... Why do people complain about Earth? We are living in the Garden Of Eden." Alan Bean, Apollo 12 astronaut
Saying YES Is Magic
Say Yes!
At least once a week my fabulous assistant Crystal comes over and we laugh and talk... and maybe get some work done! She mostly enjoys the freedom of working at home on her own schedule, but we love to get together, and now, knowing I'm moving to California, we spend most of those meetings catching up, talking, making each other laugh, and enjoying each others' company. Ah, work can wait!
Yes, we will fly her out to California to work for periods of time until we can talk her into moving. Her son just graduated high school and she has a whole new level of freedom ahead of her. She's often high as a kite, and she's going to need a lot longer kite string soon. Many of you know her and love her too, so you know.
Crystal's the most likely person I'll talk to when I want to be uplifted. Life just wouldn't be the same without her. Just yesterday, she fixed the computer I messed up from having a wacky vibration--being "anxious" about leaving my beloved City View Ranch, packing, moving, wondering where we're going to live once the moving van plops the horses and all my stuff off the truck, and having so many new and exciting things going on.
Yesterday Crystal said, "I just say YES to everything. I say it out loud. If I'm mad I say YES to it. If I'm anxious, scared, or sad I say YES to it. If I can't sleep I say YES to it (as she pumps her fist to emphasize the power of her YES.) I don't fight it or resist it, and things shift really fast. It's a lot like the Diving In process, but shorter!" She's brilliant.
If you've at least read the book you can pull off what Crystal is saying. Knowing something and being able to do it are two different things, and reading the book gives you the Grace boost and takes you through the experiences and the opening of the pipes to be able to do things you simply couldn't do before. If you've read it five times, read it again--you'll get better every time. We promise. It works on you. Just ask Crystal.
YES was helpful in the house sale negotiations too. Russell advised me to never say, "NO, I won't do that," which creates a dead end and fosters conflict. He advised to say, "I can do this." The first offer they made was so ridiculously low, my first thought was, "NO %@#&*# WAY!!!" but by thinking carefully from my Large Self at each step, and making a game out of never saying no, I never said no one time throughout the extensive successful negotiations. I've stayed can-do focused, and always said, "I'm happy to give this," or "YES, I know you want a really great deal, and let's make this a win/win for both of us."
Try saying YES to your teens, your boss, your lover, your neighbor. YES, I hear how you feel. YES, I get what you want. YES, I see your point of view. YES, I want to work this out. YES, something is possible.
Saying YES and meaning it creates chemical changes in your body that promote cooperation rather than conflict--ease rather than resistance.
Be a YES in your life. It works on you as well as other people, and the world.
Love,
Lola
PS - To Crystal, thanks for the article inspiration. That was GOOD! Where's my Easy Button?
PPS - Crystal does great sessions. Her vibration is so powerful and she cares so much from that great big heart.
